How to change apache to do graceful restarts in DirectAdmin
How to change apache to do graceful restarts in DirectAdmin
To do that, you’ll need to change your httpd boot script.
The path for your script will vary depending on your OS.
For FreeBsd it’s:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/httpd
For all other OS’s, it’s:
/etc/init.d/httpd
As for the actual change, you’ll edit the httpd boot script for your system, find this code:
restart)
stop
waitforexit “httpd” 20
start
;;
stop
waitforexit “httpd” 20
start
;;
and change it to read:
restart)
kill -USR1 `cat $PIDFILE`
;;
kill -USR1 `cat $PIDFILE`
;;
An apache restart will no longer start apache if it’s stopped. You must “start” it, as the graceful restart only works on already running processes.
